Community Savings Ltd Need Volunteers

Community Savings is a charity that seeks to support those that are financially or socially excluded, principally by providing basic bank accounts, prepaid debit cards, emergency funding and a budgeting and mentoring service. Based in town, we also run various ancillary programmes, including financial educational presentations in secondary schools.

We require:

Cashiers: that would also act as the welcoming face and mentor to customers. Banking experience would be a distinct advantage but not essential as full training will be given.

Administration support: to help with various aspects of managing a small but busy office.

We only operate between 9.00 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. and our current volunteers work for between one and three mornings a week.

Please contact Lisa Lidbury or Pauline Martin on 737555 during the above times or e-mail office@communitysavings.org.je for further information and to obtain an application.

Trinity Youth Club Need Committee Members

Trinity youth club is a charity run project which offers a range of activities to young people (9 to 18 years of age) to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities.

Trinity youth project relies on volunteers to open their doors; this is not only in face to face sessions but also in administration. The committee meet once every six weeks to oversee the running of the organisation, promote the work of the project and identify and secure funding.

Roles required:

We are currently looking for a new ​vice chairperson to represent the youth project and have an overview of the organisation and its work.

We also require a secretary to write and circulate notes and agendas of the committee meetings.

If you wish to give back to the community and ensure young people have a space in which they can have fun and learn informally, please contact Alex Murray for more information and an informal chat: 07797 758287 or AlexMurray@jys.je​
